The report describes the process to
identify and screen potential measures
to address the problems and meet the
purpose and need of the study. The
report also describes engineering,
economic, social, and environmental
analyses conducted to date; it does not
identify a preferred alternative nor does
it make any recommendations or
decisions.
The Interim Report identifies three
main problems in the study area—
upstream risks to life safety and
property when inflows exceed reservoir
capacity, dam safety risks if a dam
component were to fail during a flood,
and downstream risks to life safety and
property when flows exceed channel
capacity. To address each of these
concerns, a number of structural and
non-structural measures were
considered including but not limited to:
Bypass channels, new reservoirs,
detention ponds, tunnels, dredging of
existing detention ponds and reservoirs,
spillway modifications, levees/
floodwalls, channel modifications,
property acquisition, changes in
operations, structure modifications, and
prairie/wetland restoration. The Study
Team screened an initial array of
measures based on technical feasibility,
performance, cost, and benefits. Eight
alternatives are identified in the interim
report as the focused array. These
include:
• No Action. No Federal action is
taken to reduce future flood risks. This
alternative serves as the baseline
condition to compare the action
alternatives’ benefits and costs and is
required by policy.
• FRM Alternative 2: Cypress Creek
Reservoir. This alternative investigates
the feasibility of increasing storage
capacity in the upper watersheds
through construction of a third reservoir
in the vicinity of the Harris-Waller
County line in the far western part of
the study area.
• FRM Alternative 6: Buffalo Bayou
Channel Improvements. This alternative
facilitates more efficient conveyance of
water by widening and deepening
Buffalo Bayou, while preserving or
enhancing the natural characteristics of
the aquatic and riparian ecosystem.
• FRM Alternative 7: Non-Structural
Only. This alternative utilizes actions
that reduce human exposure and
vulnerability to flooding, but does not
attempt to change the hazard. Property
acquisition along Buffalo Bayou would
lower the risk to lives and properties
downstream during all precipitation
events, while also allowing for nondamaging larger releases from the
reservoirs during more severe events.

• FRM Alternative 8: Combination
Plan. This alternative utilizes a
combination of FRM Alternative 2 and
6, which includes construction of a
third reservoir and channel
improvements to Buffalo Bayou.
• Dam Safety (DS) Alternative 4:
Tolerable Risk. This alternative
increases the spillway capacity and
prevents overtopping by reinforcing all
four spillways of Addicks and Barker
dams. The north spillways would be
removed and replaced with stepped
roller compacted concrete (RCC) and the
south spillways would be replaced with
articulated concrete block.
• DS Alternative 5: Tolerable Risk +
As Low as Reasonably Practicable. This
alternative is similar to DS Alternative
4, except that all four spillways would
be removed and replaced with stepped
RCC.
• System Operations. This alternative
involves acquiring additional lands to
efficiently and safely operate the
reservoirs given the changed
circumstances. A range of reservoir
elevations are being considered and
could extend from current Federallyowned government land to elevation
112 at Addicks Reservoir and elevation
105 at Barker Reservoir. This would
involve acquisition of between 14,868
and 24,707 tracts of land and involve
relocation of 10,606 to 21,302
residential properties and 259 to 492
commercial properties.
3. Public Participation. USACE and
HCFCD are committed to proactively
informing and engaging with the
community and stakeholders to reach
effective and implementable flood risk
management solutions. These agencies
intend for public review of the Interim
Report to provide input on the
alternatives and the complexity of
developing solutions. Public and
resource agency feedback on the Interim
Report will inform the next level of
evaluation to identify a Tentatively
Selected Plan (TSP). The TSP may be a
single alternative or comprised of
several alternatives from the focused
array under consideration.
Solicitation of Comments: The
USACE is soliciting comments on the
Interim Report from the public, Federal,
State, and local agencies, elected
officials, Tribal Nations, and other
interested parties. The public comment
period will begin [DATE OF
PUBLICATION] and written comments
may be submitted by email or through
postal mail at the addresses provided
above.
Meetings: Due to the ‘‘Proclamation
on Declaring a National Emergency
Concerning the Novel Coronavirus
Disease (COVID–19) Outbreak’’ issued

on March 13, 2020, no in-person
meetings will be held. The USACE will
host informational sharing sessions
intended to provide an overview of the
report and findings to date. The study
website provides the dates and times of
the information sessions, as well as upto-date access details.
4. Identification of Tentatively
Selected Plan and Availability of Draft
EIS. Depending on input received on the
Interim Report, USACE estimates
issuing a Draft Feasibility Report and
Draft Environmental Impact Statement
for public review and comment in early
2021. At that time, USACE will provide
a 45-day public review period, in
accordance with the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA).
USACE will notify all interested
agencies, organizations, and individuals
of the availability of the draft document
at that time.

(Rehabilitation Act), as amended by
Title IV of the Workforce Innovation
and Opportunity Act (WIOA), requires
the Commissioner of the Rehabilitation
Services Administration (RSA) to
conduct annual reviews and periodic
on-site monitoring of the vocational
rehabilitation (VR) program to
determine whether a state agency is
complying substantially with the
provisions of its State Plan under
section 101 of the Rehabilitation Act
and with the evaluation standards and
performance indicators established
under section 106 of the Rehabilitation
Act subject to the performance
accountability provisions described in
Section 116(b) of WIOA. To fulfill its
monitoring responsibility, RSA reviews
a maximum of 15 VR agencies in each
Federal fiscal year. In order to resolve
findings of non-compliance, RSA
requires that VR agencies develop a
Corrective Action Plan (CAP). The CAP
must contain the specific steps that the
agency will take to resolve each finding,
timelines for the completion of each
step and methods for evaluating that the
findings have been resolved. RSA
requires the agency to report progress
toward completion of the CAP on a
quarterly basis.
